Second Year Pandemic Poetry Clarissa Simmens

We of the world struggled last year, facing a new adversary, the Covid-19 pandemic. But with the help of committed people working together on Earth, there is light ahead. Let us all dedicate this year to healing physically, mentally, and emotionally. Call on your spirituality, no matter what the name; increase your scientific knowledge; and rely on your common sense. Most of all, let us move forward toward building a new global community, sharing wisdom and compassion... UNIVERSAL HEALINGKrakens and Ravens and feathers and charmsHomemade holy water for backyard farmsLong ago stirred cauldrons for world harmonyNow it's for healthful serenityInto the aether I send my songChords blanketing us, what could be wrong?Bones and tones and colorful smokeWorld filled with strong and erect folkWhatever you believe for enhancing the daysShare with the moon and sun's healing raysSing it, strum it, drum it tooUse prayer or science or loving HoodooElemental love of Earth, Air, Fire, and WaterWe are the universe's sons and daughtersHeal...heal...heal...
